I'm trying to install drivers for my Archer T9E wifi adapter, but my system always freezes whether I do the install of bcmwl-kernel-source through GUI or terminal.

How can I fix this?

out put of sudo apt-get install -f bcmwl-kernel-source

Here is the output of my lshw

  • I'd recommend you post the full output of sudo lshw for detailed report of your hardware. Have you done any research? there seems to be many freeze cases around this bcmwl... e.g. you could suffer a bug like here? – J. Chomel Nov 06 '16 at 09:33
  • thanks for the response i edited my post with the output but i don't know how to edit it to make it more readable. Anyways how do i know i suffer from this type of bug? when it freezes it completing takes out the os and makes it unbootable so i just have been reinstalling to overcome that.Also how am i suppose to apply the patch if my system doesn't even have the bcmwl package already installed? The only research i have done is was mainly from here [http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers] – inkal01123 Nov 06 '16 at 18:30
  • Could you please open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), run sudo apt-get install -f bcmwl-kernel-source and [edit] your question to include its output? If you can't capture the output because the system is frozen, could you maybe take a picture with a camera and link to it here? The most important thing are the last few lines before the system freezes. Thanks. – David Foerster Nov 07 '16 at 10:06
  • I have edited the post to include a link to the photo. It freezes at this point every time, even in 16.10 and also in linux mint aswell. – inkal01123 Nov 07 '16 at 16:48
  • Does it freeze or is the terminal just hanging there? How long did you wait? – TheWanderer Nov 19 '16 at 01:28
  • Please do: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source Detach the USB and try again: sudo apt-get install -f bcmwl-kernel-source Is the behavior the same? – chili555 Nov 22 '16 at 21:29
  • it is completely frozen and even wont pull up a new terminal and I waited hours. I cant purge the system because when it freezes it completely ruins my build making it unbootable Also not sure what usb you mean? I tried it multiple times with and with our different devices plugged in still no go. – inkal01123 Dec 04 '16 at 23:50
